Note –
We have been asked by several members as to the format they can use for their resumes. We do not wish to impose any structure as each member should have the opportunity to craft their own resumes. The only limitation we would like to impose is that you keep your content to 500 words or less. The Nominating Committee reserves the right to make any changes if the verbiage exceeds this.
This, notwithstanding, we give below the format which was used in the previous years for the position of President. While this may not be appropriate for all positions; you may adapt it to suit your needs.
If you are elected as the “President” of USA:
1. What would be your vision statement?
2. What will be the first thing you would do in office?
3. Where do you see you see USA going if we stay on the current track?
4. In what direction will you lead USA?
5. What will you do to increase member ship?
6. What will you do to increase the sport's popularity?
